Help...1.2RL sluggish

[domn8]

As above, seems like its driving into a force 10 gale. I can only describe it to be wavy power, like its being released then held back in an even cycle. Any ideas?

Slow engine behaps??

 

[domn8]

no it used to fine but just recently its got slow, 95N on 71k

Has it been given a good serice recienlty? Check the plugs leads air filter etc.

I would try cheching the oil, spark plugs, cambelt if not done as even a service can improve its performance

Run some Redex through it, might be carbon junk hanging round the plugs?

 

[domn8]

new plugs and filter, oil change due soonish but surely an oil change alone wont change much. What sensors may need cleaning?

One thing I should mention is that the injector/ breather hoses seem to get light brown sludge build up under the K&N

 

[domn8]

Any other ideas, cleaning sensors etc?

Try it for a short drive without teh air filter, if its clogged that could be the problem

Check that the baffles haven't collasped int eh exhaust and are blocking it, and similarly that the cat isn't blocked

Have a look at the dizzy cap to make sure that its still allright as well as the rotor arm.
Also check the spark plugs, and check the condition of the leads whilst your at it.
Also have a look at the airfilter like lunner said.
And if they dont help, could be worth changing the fuel filter, may find its blocked.

All good suggestions, when this rain stops I will get out and check them
